Lum’s hands move quickly as he talks about the potato pasta and offers tips on making it: “Rice or grate the potato while warm; otherwise it’s too starchy. Don’t put it in the fridge; cold congeals starch. Flour will bind the potatoes to the egg; without it, it will fall apart.”. In reality it’s a carefully choreographed ballet, much like any professional kitchen. However, in this case, the cast members are high school students under the direction of Lum and Anne Maloney, co- moderators of the Cooking Club. Most Fridays when classes end for the week, members head for the kitchen.

While the subject is Mount Diablo, different styles and painting media express a wide variety of very personal views of the iconic mountain that dominates this region. The works will be for sale and for rental, as are all the paintings in the gallery. “Slopes of Diablo 2011” will be on exhibit through June 24.

His swag and style — a curly, mini Afro, silky Versace shirt, classic shorts, slick shoes and a studded pinky ring — match the sound of “24K Magic,” an epic ’90s R&B-inspired album that plays like a cohesive jam session. It will be released Friday. Mars, 31, said the album was inspired by his love for R&B acts like New Edition, Boyz II Men and Jodeci, as well as West Coast rap (DJ Quik came to the studio to give him a flexatone, the percussion instrument, to use on the album).
